We were like Hermione. We loved going back to school, and not because it was nice to get out from under the stairs. One of our favorite things was the school supply list, but we'll readily admit ours was nothing compared to the one Hogwarts sends. "1 Wand. 1 Cauldron." Target may be busy, but imagine what it would have been like as everyone descended upon Diagon Alley to pick up the new year's supplies. If you can't make it to Diagon Alley, best to shop from the comfort of your own home and pretend you've cast Accio School Supplies.

Straight from Flourish and Blotts, this is the perfect correspondence set for first years wanting to write home. Or rather, for parents wanting to hear from their first years. And they're even better than postcards of the campus, because the wax seal ensures nobody else gets to read that request for more galleons. And once you've sent all the cards, you'll still have a handy quill at your disposal for taking exquisite notes worthy of magical studies.
